Question 1
Entropy is a measure of
◦ free energy.
◦ molecular randomness.
◦ the heat of a reaction.
◦ the rate of a reaction.
Question 2
Without doing any calculations, determine whether the standard entropy change, Δ
S° is positive or negative for each of the following reactions.
reaction 1: C(graphite) + O
2(
g) → CO
2(
g)
reaction 2: 2 CO(
g) + O
2(
g) → 2 CO
2(
g)
◦ Δ
S° is positive for reaction 1 but negative for reaction 2.
◦ Δ
S° is positive for both reactions.
◦ Δ
S° is negative for both reactions.
◦ Δ
S° is positive for reaction 2 but negative for reaction 1.
